Glacier inventory and recent glacier variations in the Andes of Chile, South America
(Cambridge University Press, 2017)
The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from
Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is presented
in a single standardized ...
Glacier fluctuations in extratropical South America during the past 1000 years
(Elsevier, 2009)
This paper presents an updated, extensive review of glacier fluctuations during the past 1000 years in the
extratropical Andes of South America between ca. 17° and 55°S. Given the variety of environmental
conditions and ...
Inventory and recent changes of small glaciers on the northeast margin of the Southern Patagonia icefield, Argentina
(International Glaciological Society, 2015-06)
Most glaciological studies in Argentina have focused on the large outlet glaciers of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI); the numerous smaller neighboring glaciers have received significantly less attention. We present ...
Modelling and climatic interpretation of the length fluctuations of Glaciar Frías (north Patagonian Andes, Argentina) 1639-2009 AD
(Copernicus Publications, 2012-08)
We explore the climatic information contained in the record of length fluctuations of Glaciar Frías, in the north Patagonian Andes of Argentina. This record is one of the longest and most detailed glacier records in southern ...
Spatio-temporal mapping of glacier fluctuations in the subtropical Central Andes: Case studies of Alto Del Plomo and Volcan Maipo
(Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
Glaciers located in the Subtropical Central Andes region, play an important role in the surrounding hydrological system due to their significant contribution to the runoff of Andean rivers. Furthermore, they constitute a ...
Historically unprecedented global glacier changes in the 1 early 21st century
(Int Glaciol Soc, 2015-09)
Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass. Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an unprecedented dataset of glacier observations from ...
Holocene history of río tranquilo glacier, monte San Lorenzo (47°S), Central Patagonia
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
The causes underlying Holocene glacier fluctuations remain elusive, despite decades of
research efforts. Cosmogenic nuclide dating has allowed systematic study and thus
improved knowledge of glacier-climate dynamics ...
Late-glacial fluctuations of two southern Patagonia outlet glaciers revealed by high-resolution seismic surveys
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Lago Argentino hosts various calving glaciers, among them the famous Perito Moreno. Whereas the onland late Pleistocene– Holocene glacial history is rather well constrained, the submerged glacier-related features were until ...
Area changes of glaciers on active volcanoes in Latin America between 1986 and 2015 observed from multi-temporal satellite imagery
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)
Glaciers on active volcanoes are subject to changes in both climate fluctuations and volcanic activity. Whereas many studies analysed changes on individual volcanoes, this study presents for the first time a comparison of ...
Decadal changes in glacier parameters in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, derived from remote sensing
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-06)
We present spatial patterns of glacier fluctuations from the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, (glacier area, terminus elevations, median elevations and hypsography) at decadal timescales derived from 1970 aerial photography, 2003 ...
